Purely available via email. Can be acessed from anywhere. No need for an account to submit a bug report. No need for an account to review bug reports. No need for anaccount to modify (close!) a bug report. Did I mention no need for accounts? Did I mention no need for a web browser? > "Send us this mail, in this specific form, which is listed here..." It is not nearly as complicated as you make it out. > I don't think so.

If you are using debbugs to report a bug in Debian, then you should be using reportbug. It does all the grunt work for you. Of course, debbugs was built specifically for one purpose in mind, so it would probably not be a good fit for anything else. But it does have the features I like: completely able to manipulate via email, and able to read via http. > I was hoping for some useful alternatives.

It says email interface, but I wonder how dependent it really is on the web interface. Remember, nothing is as evil as being forced to submit a webform. -john Well, except maybe being forced to have javascript to submit said webform.
